The Miami Police Department is currently investigating a fatal hit-and-run incident that struck down a pedestrian early this morning in the Little Havana neighborhood. As reported by WSVN, the collision occurred in the vicinity of Northwest Seventh Street, specifically boxed between Northwest 23rd and 25th Avenue. Details remain sparse, but it has been noted that, after initially fleeing the scene, the motorist involved in the accident later returned. What remains uncertain is whether hit-and-run charges will be pursued against the driver.
Further into the heart of Little Havana, NBC Miami has highlighted that the victim was a man in his 60s. The accident took place around 6:30 a.m. near Northwest 7th Street and Northwest 27th Avenue. Eyewitness footage from the scene showcased the essential blockades set up by the police, with intersections marked by cruisers and crime scene tape, and a poignant sight of blood stains which led up to a body covered by a white tarp. The victim's identity, along with any descriptive details of the suspect vehicle, has yet to be disclosed by the authorities.
